Currently, using — Digital Ocean

Have you configured shh with your project using putty and set/change password?

You need download/install putty in your PC — Download from here: https://www.putty.org/ Or you can use CMD (If you know usage).

how to get digitalocean without credit card

[Red_Hacker]

you cannot. Even if you have a coupon digital ocean will require credit card. Even worst those digital ocean will make your 50$ student coupon avail for 2 month or 1 year(I don’t remember). They are there for business so don’t expect free stuff from digital ocean.

[Ayan_Banerjee]

Im not expecting free stuff but I want to register using my debit card instead and it is not accepted.

[Red_Hacker]

u can use virtual credit card?

[Ayan_Banerjee]

Not accepting. Tried it
